Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 1139.5- Ice Corridor (2)

Ye Zhongming saw some marks on the previous armor that didn’t come from this place. Those from here should be from the Frost Monsters. He looked at them carefully and knew the monster had a sharp attack that could easily slice green armor. Thus, he added some special materials that added defense and toughness.

To deal with the ice bugs and their heat absorption ability, this armor tried to wrap around all parts of the bodies. So it looked close to a battle skirt with a high collar and long sleeves.

Just these alone made him use materials that could craft a piece of equipment similar to the armor itself. He spent quite a huge sum.

The soul artifact method helped to give it attack abilities. One was “Flame Blowing” which consumed mental energy to release flames and burn surrounding targets.

Of course, the ability was easy to use, which made soul artifacts special, but it had a huge demand on mental energy. Be it strength or time it lasted, it was the same. To Ye Zhongming, even if Gan Lan had used it, she would not have been able to use it to its limit.

But all in all, this was a good item.

Gan Lan was dazzled on the side. She had put a lot of effort into getting green armor and spent much of her money. When she saw someone repair it and upgrade it, she was shocked beyond her understanding.

She recalled that she had obtained the five-star potion from this guy. She finally realized this guy had reached a level they couldn’t understand.

“Wear it and get familiar with it. Then we will head in.”

Ye Zhongming said it and stopped caring about her.
He could bring Zhao Xiangxue down. Be it evolution level or element countering level, Zhao Xiangxue was more suitable than her.

But his subordinate wasn’t as familiar as Gan Lan. This place was also really dangerous. If anything happened to Gan Lan, he wouldn’t care. But if Zhao Xiangxue died here, Ye Zhongming’s heart would hurt.

This was the difference between someone on your side and someone who wasn’t.

While she familiarized herself with her armor, Ye Zhongming placed his bare hands into the mist. This time, he spent a longer time than before. That scared Gan Lan, and she feared the mist would freeze him.

When she saw his expression was normal, she relaxed and started caring about her new armor.

Ye Zhongming retracted his hand and saw a layer of frost on his hands.

He looked closely and saw that there were many rice grain-sized bugs.

These were the ice bugs.

He sensed the heat reducing in his body. He didn’t show much of an expression but was shocked.

These small things could break his skin and absorb his heat.

He estimated that a few hundred ice bugs were on his palms, but not all could break his skin. Only a few dozen of them had such an ability. The rest were dead and frozen in the ice.

Ye Zhongming sensed for a while more, and his palms turned red. A few seconds later, the ice melted, and the bugs were all burnt.

“You are also a fire element user?” Gan Lan’s eyes opened wide.

Although she had the Soul Burner job, apart from when she used her skills, she couldn’t shift fire elemental energy out of her body. She couldn’t place her palm in the mist for many minutes and still be fine. Now, she finally understood why Ye Zhongming dared to say that he could get the reward. So, he was a strong fire element job user.

But she wanted to remind him that it didn’t mean much here. Even if he could tank the icee corridor, he still couldn’t handle the Frost Monsters. There were many of them, and their combat strength was really high, too.

But she saw him deep in thought and decided to say it after the ice corridor.

Ye Zhongming estimated his limit. He wanted to know how long he could last if the ice bugs surrounded him.

Although this estimation wouldn’t be too accurate as he didn’t know if there were any stronger ice bugs, it gave him an estimate.

The conclusion was that even if he walked slowly, he could pass the tunnel many factions feared.

The only thing would be that he would consume energy, and his mental energy would drop by an eighth.

Ye Zhongming thought about it and released the Needle Birds.

These fellows were now level five, and their evolution speed was so quick that Ye Zhongming was shocked. Their speed and strength were far above evolved on the same level. One Needle bird was enough to deal with Gan Lan, and it wouldn’t take two minutes.

Ye Zhongming recalled what Liu Zhenghong said: these things had strong adaptability. Their genes weren’t stable, so they needed to fight to familiarise themselves with their bodies.

This extreme environment was a special battlefield, and Ye Zhongming wanted to train them.

These few fellows increased their evolution levels quickly. If they could get a higher level, it would mean he had a few level six experts beside him. That would increase his strength.

Ye Zhongming was very careful. He released one and let it fly near the ice corridor. When it was hit with some mist, he recalled it.

This Needle Bird was slightly annoyed. It shook its body to shake the ice bugs away. Ye Zhongming looked closely, and only a few ice bugs bit it. The wings and fur rubbed against them and cleared them.

Moreover, the Needle Bird showed good temperature resistance.

Ye Zhongming recalled that these were monsters from the Secret Realm and had been true terrifying winters each year and understood.

He turned back and asked Gan Lan. She said she was ready, so he told her to lead the way. He followed behind her and left those Needle Birds at their original spots.

Gan Lan had Rhythm Observation and had skills. She wasn’t slow and moved left and right to change her path. She could find the best path through the corridor, which impressed Ye Zhongming.

Ye Zhongming followed behind her, and the two reached the middle without triggering a single hole.

But before they could be happy, Gan Lan’s body suddenly shook, and her landing was slightly forceful. She made a sound, and the entire corridor reacted. Numerous holes spat thick mist.
